Properties
Clotrimazole is a broad-spectrum, topical antifungal agent.

Clotrimazole is effective against dermatophytes, yeast-like and mold fungi, as well as the causative agent of pityriasisversicolor and the causative agent of erythrasma. Clotrimazole has an antimicrobial effect against gram-positive (staphylococci, streptococci) and gram-negative bacteria (Bacteroides, Gardnerellavaginalis), as well as against Trichomonasvaginalis.
